Rector's Address

The University of Audiovisual Arts, the European Film, Theater and Dance Academy Skopje-Paris-Rotterdam-Essen, is the first real higher education bridge that connects Macedonia and Europe. The first-generation students, with their exceptional energy, enthusiasm, talent and artistic forms of expression, show that in Macedonia there is a quiet audiovisual revolution in higher education that farewells stereotypes of “controlled past” and creates the future of new artistic and professional reality not only in Macedonia but also in South-East European countries, where one third of our enrolled students come from.One of our neighbours, Archimedes from Sicily, said “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world”. One of our distant spiritual relatives, Shakespeare, said “All the world’s a stage”. I would like to invite young people from Macedonia and South-East Europe to walk the path of art at our University because even the longest road begins with the first step.It is your turn now!Action!Jordan PlevnesThe Rector of the University
